Start Button
My car has the keyless system, so I can just walk up to the car, pull the handle and it unlocks.
But, I do not have a start button. I have to put the key in, and turn it to start the car.
I have seen some start buttons for sale on this forum, and they apparently just plug into the key hole.
Can I buy a start button from Mercedes-Benz, and just plug it into the key hole. Will I then be able to start my car by pressing the button.
If so, what is the MB part number for the switch.

If you have KEYLESS GO, then you just need the button. Should be around $30 USD.

It's crazy how many of us buy a car with keyless go and the button isn't there. Luckily this is just a plug and play thing but dangg where are all these buttons?! It's almost like dealers are popping them out to nickel and dime us.
I'm about to start a #NoButtonLeftBehind movement.

I know dealers remove them due to people stealing them when they test drive or whatever. It does seem that they never re supply them though.

Luckily, it is a plug and play part that is cheap. However, that makes it all the more opportunity to make a customer that much happier. For all we know (before searching how easy it really is), the button cost $100 and an additional $200 in coding.
Anywho, sorry for the slight derail here. Just have seen a bunch of these threads popping up, myself starting one as well some time ago.

My keyless go button was also in my glovebox. My salesman was nice enough to pop it into place, after I completed the paperwork for my car. I guess some of you guys had the misfortune of having to deal with shady dealers.

I know you said you're in South Africa, so there'd be some shipping costs involved surely, but i wanted to echo the statement above about the CF buttons.
The post is here:
https://mbworld.org/forums/c63-amg-w...-your-c63.html
I've bought 2. One in Red, One in Black.
The process was easy, the guy who makes these, Eddie, was awesome to deal with and It's usually the first compliment I get about my car when people sit in it. (I usually use the red one, and it's gorgeous). I did leave it in the car ONCE when I brought my car in for service, and when i went back to pick up the car, it was referenced as the one "with the red button".
In case you were curious, I did have a chance to test it personally, and the good news is they also work on the new W205 chassis too, so likely this is something you can keep if you're looking at more Mercedes down the road too...
I don't know how the finances would work out, but there's quite a few different styles and it really makes the interior pop. I don't remember the exact price, but if you've got ~$80 vs the $30 for a standard one, I wouldn't hesitate...

^^ Seems Eddie is busy and doesn't respond to emails anymore. Another route would be MACarbon, their customer service is top notch and their start button is extremely well made. A bit more on the pricier side but I think well worth it.

I would love to get one of those Carbon buttons, but unfortunately our president is a complete ******, and he has killed our currency. At over 15 Rand to the dollar, it's very expensive to get it here.
I have bought a button from the Mercedes Benz dealer. Quick and easy, works great.
